Thank you, I'll be thinking about this solution.

Hi Serge,

it seems that in 6.56 the animation of sGauge does not work at all. Do you know about that?

[LC!]

Animation of sGauge was not shown with skin “Vienna” in 6.56. Solved in 6.57.

Because animation is only shown when the message queue is handled, you could say that animation is totally absent: when the message queue is handled, you mostly are awaiting user input. That's exactly when the gauge should not be animated, because then it would suggest that the program is still working.

I'm thinking about new animations now, but it's not easy and ThreadedTimer have some troubles which must be fixed firstly..

Maybe this article could be of use for implementation of a better Threaded Timer: Using Waitable Timers with an Asynchronous Procedure Call

The Jedi library (JEDI Project) has a component TJclWaitableTimer that implements the method SetTimerApc for asynchronous calls using the Windows Waitable timer constructs. As you know, the Jedi library is open source.

Thank you! I will research it

The problem with the threaded timer may stem from this bug in the VCL:

Deadlock in TThread.Synchronize

The following problem may also have something to do with it:

Synchronize and WaitFor methods of TThread can lead to a DeadLock in logically correct applications

Thank you, Dick!
